Back in May, late night host Jimmy Kimmel delivered an unexpected, emotional monologue about his newborn son, Billy, who was forced to undergo emergency open-heart surgery mere hours after he was born. The story captivated viewers — it's now been watched more than 11 million times on YouTube.

Now, nearly three months later, Kimmel has revealed that Billy is still doing well.

"He's doing great,'" Kimmel said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday. "He's juggling. He's translating Flaubert from French into English. He's really an amazing kid. No — he smiles. That's pretty much it. He is very interested in ceiling fans. He likes those a lot. I could get him to pay the same amount for Netflix just to watch ceiling fans."

Back in July, Kimmel tweeted this adorable photo of Billy to thank fans for their support (guess he wasn't lying about the smiling!):

But Billy will need two more open heart surgeries, Kimmel said — though he didn't offer details on how they will happen.

"We would like to get them over with and not have to think about it all the time, but it could definitely be worse," he said.
